A Christmas Cake! Just for kicks, I went ahead and made a Christmas cake. I wanted to try out some new stuff. This is a Double Chocolate cake with Strawberry Filling and Cream Cheese Icing. There are chocolate filled wafer cookies lining the outside, wrapped in real ribbon, and topped with a Christmas centerpiece.
Hunter's 21st Birthday cupcakes. Vanilla and Chocolate cupcakes with Royal Icing (which I have learned doesn't work so great on cupcakes. The cupcakes didn't look quite as nice the next day and I had to add some Buttercream "accents" to fix them up a bit. I now have a new technique to make a nice smooth textured cupcake using buttercream icing.)
I couldn't resist posting several shots of this amazingly cute little boy! It was my joy to make my precious son's 1st birthday cake. He enjoyed it almost as much as I did. This was a vanilla cake with white icing and lots of colorful accents! It was made as a mini-tiered cake.

By request of the birthday boy, this cake was half chocolate, half (blue) vanilla cake. All the decorations are a combination of fondant and buttercream icing.
I've been making cakes and other sweets for close family and friends for a few years. I love baking and learning new recipes and techniques. I'm always thrilled to make a new cake design and love a challenge! New: Ask me about dairy-free & Vegan cakes. Edible images, too! Email: imlookinup@yahoo.com
